  I can get to the dashboard of my blog but I am pretty sure it is not the admin portion. I have not used the blog in a few years. I need to change the email address to an email address (that I all ready use to access a different blog that I have contributed to at times), but there is no option to add a different email address or to transfer to that one. Also, I set the blog to private a few years ago and am not able to find a way to make it public again. Help please….

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner. It is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and a single associated email address, and who is the original Admin of the blogs registered under that username account. You can create one gravatar for every username account that applies to all blogs registered under the same username account and email address.
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/email-address/
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/email-notifications/

  There is a single email address that can be used on only one wordpress.COM username account and not on any others, regardless of how many blogs are registered under that username account.

  The wordpress.COM blog’s owner can change the relevant email address on their accounts page at https://wordpress.com/me/account at any time.

  Where can I make my blog public again? I set it to private a while back and now can not figure out how to change it. Also, this blog was originally under the email address that I am wanting to change it back to now, is there a way to transfer it to that?

  @rachels95 Try https://wordpress.com/settings for the site privacy.

  You can update your email here: https://wordpress.com/me/account

  Just know you won’t be able to use an email address that is already in use with another account.
